Will our elected Texas legislators burn through session 
fighting over school vouchers because Greg demands
they approve them or he will have another pissy fit?


  
 
Greg was pissed off that school vouchers did
 not pass during the previous legislative session.
He attacked Republican Texas State Reps
who did not vote for school vouchers by
giving money for anyone to defeat them.

Greg did not care if the Reps voted against
school vouchers because the people they
represent do not want school vouchers.

Is Greg Abbott the King of Texas?
I thought elected Texas State Reps
are in Austin to represent Us
the people who elected them?
They are accountable to us.

Does Greg believe they are
accountable to Greg Abbott?

Me King You Servant? 

Is this an example of how money
buys our elected officials in Austin?

MOTIVATION is an indication of behavior,
AND money is strong MOTIVATION.

Do they want you to pay for your public schools
and also pay to build their private schools? 

A religious school is a private school,
until it accepts Government Money.
Then the private school becomes
another Government School.

Like a dog chasing its tail,
it just goes around in circles.



 
 


  
 
 
     
 

Don Abbott made an offer State Reps
could not refuse...Their Re-election
Political Extortion
Republicans threatening Republicans in Austin.
Is that what you expect from Texas Republicans?
 

  
 
 
     
 
 
     
 
 
     
 
 
     
 

They want school vouchers because
of a decline in student enrollment?

  
 
 
     
 
 
     
 

If a private or religious school accepts Federal
or State money they lose their independence.
The Government can and will dictate what
is taught and displayed in the classroom.

As an example Hillsdale College
refuses any Federal or State money. 

  
 
 
     
 
 
     
 
 
     
 
 
     
 

We cannot discriminate which religious school receives
Government money and which religious school does not.

  
 
 
 
 
 
 
     
 
 
     
 

When you take money from a public school and give
it to a private or religious school it reduces the money
your local school has for special needs children.

School vouchers are affordable when a State has extra money
but what happens when a State does not have extra money?
The state will reduce the amount of the vouchers.

The parents then will pay more of the tuition or return the child
back to the public school, if a private or religious school
loses too many students it might be forced to close.


  
 
 
     
 
 
     
 
 
     
 

Consider this fact:
We pay for our schools through property taxes, right?
A private home and apartment pays property taxes, right?
The difference is the apartment unit pays about 10%
of what the homeowner pays in property taxes.
The burden to pay for the school is on the homeowner.
  So where does the money come from to give the
apartment renter the school voucher?
Government housing pays zero in property taxes,
where does the money come from for their vouchers?

  
 
 
     
 
This is not about the people who live in apartments,
they are hard working individuals who deserve a safe 
clean place to live and raise their children.

It is about the fact that those apartment units
pay pennies and sometimes nothing to
support the local services they require.

Those local services are education, law enforcement,
Emergency Medical Services, and the local hospitals.

Look at the number of public housing apartments
in just Houston, 4,000 units plus 1,600 tax-credit units.

Public Housing units pay no property taxes, zero.
That means the neighboring private property owner
pays their property taxes and the property taxes
for every individual apartment unit.
Someone has to pay to support the costs of those services,
they aint free to operate, there are hard costs involved.

And, since public housing units pay no school taxes
who pays for the extimated $10,500 school voucher
that each student is estimated to receive?
How many children from those 4,000 public housing units
attend school, and how many might need special help?
We have a moral obligation to provide the services
they require that is being 100% pro-life.

First we need to find the waste
working over four years for the state
believe me, there is waste.

" It ain't our money"

We we need lower property taxes combined with 
a consumption tax where everyone in that community
pays to support the local public services in the community.

It would be very cheap to collect at the cash register,
and does not require an army of employees to manage. 

Money does not grow on trees, someone has to pay,
and we are not going to eliminate property taxes.
